"Li Yunlong is attacking Yangcheng, and now he doesn't even notify me. No, I, Chu Yunfei, must help in this situation." After Chu Yunfei received the information about the Eighth Route Army's attack on Yangcheng, he rolled his eyes, as if I saw the fate of Yangcheng.
"Regiment leader, there is no order from the top to let me fight in Yangcheng. I will be held accountable if I go out to fight without permission." Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, stopped him.
"Last time we tried to block the attack, Commander Yan reprimanded our group."
"It's okay. Last time it was Li Yunlong who begged us to do something. This time it's different. If we don't move, the little devils will be driven away or even annihilated. The little devils in Jin will be driven away soon. How will we do it later? Where?" Chu Yunfei waved his hand.
"Let's go now. With the kindness from last time and the help this time, we will at least have a place in Yangcheng. At least Li Yunlong will give us a county seat, right? Otherwise we will have to continue to stay in the ravine, little Once the devils are driven away, nothing will happen."
Although Chu Yunfei is a professional soldier, he has a strong sense of military honor.
But he is not stupid because of his worldliness, otherwise he would not be able to join the 358th Regiment, a super large regiment.
Chu Yunfei also has his own understanding of the changes in the future situation.
Fang Ligong remained silent.
Chu Yunfei was right. They and the Eighth Route Army were actually two completely different systems and had no control over each other.
Why would people divide the profits after driving away the little devils?
"But, how should we explain it to Chief Yan? How about we call the chief and ask for instructions." Fang Ligong was a little worried. They had cooperated with the Eighth Route Army several times, and some news had been passed back to the old chief. It is said that the old chief was very worried about Chu Yun. Fei also has some opinions.
"I will not accept your fate, not to mention that this time we have both military exploits and opportunities to make money." Chu Yunfei waved his hands indifferently, "Sir Yan is not here with us, and he has no idea about the situation we are facing. This In this case, asking for instructions will only cause more trouble to Commander Yan."
Chu Yunfei had made up his mind, and Fang Ligong also knew that it would be useless to talk more. After careful consideration, he decided to listen to Chu Yunfei for the time being and act according to the situation when he got there.
...
"What, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment is also pressing forward?" Gao Jianwu was a little surprised when he heard the report from his subordinate in charge of intelligence. He really didn't think of using the 358th Regiment this time.
Firstly, there is no need, and secondly, the time has not come for the two parties to meet.
In his opinion, the best time for him to take the initiative to meet Chu Yunfei was after taking Yangquan.
As the saying goes, a thousand soldiers are easy to get but a general is hard to find. Gao Jianwu is still covetous of a top student from Huangpu. Being able to pull Chu Yunfei onto the fast train of Ping An Cluster will be a big help to increase the strength of Ping An Cluster!
Especially the infantry and artillery coordination that Gao Jianwu is currently promoting, Li Yunlong, Xing Zhiguo, and Shen Quan seem to understand but Gao Jianwu believes that if it were Chu Yunfei, Chu Yunfei would understand it if he gave a little reminder of the key points.
After all, he came from a formal academic background, so he was much better than a self-taught person like Li Yunlong in this regard. What's more, Chu Yunfei also had many years of practical experience in artillery battalions.
If Gao Jian handed over the six main battalions of the elite Third Attack Group to Chu Yunfei with two main artillery battalions, he would probably be able to defeat even the entire division of the Little Devils.
"Call the regiment leader and ask him to meet with Chu Yunfei to discuss coordination matters. No matter what their demands are, they will wait until we finish fighting Yangquan. The top priority is to eliminate the little Japs in Yangquan." Gao Jianwu thought for a while. Said to the communications staff.
The other party's purpose was unknown, so Li Yunlong was asked to find out the basics and then discuss cooperation in combat.
After all, tens of thousands of troops are now fighting fiercely. If the cooperation is not good, it is easy to accidentally injure friendly troops.
Especially for artillery, the attack distance is very long, so both sides must cooperate closely to allow the infantry and artillery coordination to be truly implemented.
"Order Lu Xingguo, Fang Zhen and Ye Shaoshang to be on standby. Once it is discovered that the Japs' fighter planes are trying to enter the Yangquan battlefield, they will immediately take off to intercept them. We cannot let enemy air strikes affect the rhythm of our attack!" After dealing with Chu Yun! Regarding this unexpected situation, Gao Jianwu looked at the map and said to the combat staff.
Now the ground combat can basically control the little devils. If there is any change, it is that the little devils send air force fighter jets to disrupt the situation.
Compared with before when he had no way to deal with air strikes, Gao Jianwu now has an extra trump card in his hand, that is, he has three of the Japs' main fighter jets in his hands.
In addition, Gao Jianwu had four captured 20mm anti-aircraft cannons in his hands as a last resort for field air defense.
Because there are too many air defense points in Jinyang City, the air defense battalion can hardly be deployed, so four 20mm anti-aircraft guns are brought in to deter the air.
"Old Chen, are the troops that will cut off the retreat of the Little Japanese Brigade now in place?" Gao Jianwu watched as the Little Japanese's position began to be covered by a tidal wave of Ping An Group soldiers, "Let the outflanking troops pay attention to the artillery situation in the enemy's city. Once something unexpected happens, call for artillery support immediately to avoid being attacked by artillery fire from the little devils in the city!"
"The reports from the 15th and 16th Battalions have just been received. I'm afraid the artillery strength exposed by the Little Japs is not all of them. We must be careful that there are still artillerymen from the Little Japs in the city." Shen Quan responded.
"However, we have already told the troops below that we would rather retreat when necessary than sacrifice ourselves needlessly under the gunfire of the Japs."
Everything was unfolding according to the planned tactics. The Japs in the defensive position were in panic all day long under the artillery fire. However, the Ping An cluster did not keep them in fear for long. They stepped on the shell craters and attacked. Once they found the Japs gathered, they The call for artillery fire coverage began, and the forward position directly called for the company's mortars, and the shells quickly landed around the exposed little Japanese.
This kind of artillery bombardment within a visual range of several hundred meters is basically not difficult in the eyes of artillery observers.
The mortar shells fired with bang bang bang landed next to the little devil one after another.
Soon after the shells exploded, the soldiers rushed forward to clean up the little Japanese who were in a state of confusion, and directly eliminated the little Japanese who had almost lost their combat effectiveness like harvesting leeks.
Finally, the little Japanese of the 4th Brigade were beaten to collapse, and they began to spontaneously retreat towards the city.
Even if the little devils are all filled with thoughts of death by Bushido, when this moment really comes and everyone is unable to resist, these thoughts of death cannot support the shattered soul!
The army was defeated like a mountain, and the two main battalions that had already surrounded the retreat were not polite at all when facing the retreating Japs. The light and heavy machine guns opened fire directly, and the Japs who staggered away were cut off leeks again. The harvest!
The Japanese defensive positions on the western front collapsed first!
...
"Brother Yunfei, you're fine!" Li Yunlong saw Chu Yunfei and said hello with a smile.
"I wonder if Brother Yunfei brought the troops here today. Is he acting under orders or is Brother Yunfei doing it on his own initiative?"
Li Yunlong was not polite when he saw Chu Yunfei and asked directly.
The war is still going on there right now, so he has no time to fight.
"Brother Yunlong, your brother is fighting the Japs, so naturally I, Chu Yunfei, will help! Chu came here uninvited today, hoping to help Brother Yunlong!" Chu Yunfei also knew that the Eighth Route Army and the Japs were currently fighting fiercely. Quickly explain your intention.
Li Yunlong felt relieved. If it wasn't an order issued by the Second War Zone Commander's Department, then things would be much easier to handle.
"Thank you, Brother Yunfei, for your help. I, Li Yunlong, would like to thank you in advance. The frontal position to the south of the Little Japanese still lacks an artillery battalion to suppress artillery fire. Now that Brother Yunfei is here, the right wing of the Little Japanese's defensive position will be handed over to Brother Yunfei." ”
Before Li Yunlong came to see Chu Yunfei, he briefly communicated with Gao Jianwu about the relevant situation. He had already had a plan. Seeing that the situation was consistent with Gao Jianwu's expectation, he directly arranged Chu Yunfei in one direction of attack.
"No problem, Brother Yunlong, you can rest assured to leave the right wing to Chu." Chu Yunfei promised. When he came, he had briefly observed the position and saw that Li Yunlong indeed only had one artillery battalion supporting the front line, but Li Yunlong's front infantry The battalion's mortars far exceeded their own expectations, and they actually achieved absolute suppression of artillery fire on the Jaap position.
I couldn't help being surprised!
Compared with the blocking troops he saw last time, Li Yunlong's troops had completely different firepower!
"The firepower of Li Yunlong's troops has increased so quickly. The number of mortars deployed has far exceeded that of our 358th regiment." Chu Yunfei thought to himself, "I was a little careless this time. If we compete on the same stage, I'm afraid we will lose." Li Yunlong."
"Haha, brother Yunfei is so happy. I'll leave the right wing to you. Li, take your leave!" Li Yunlong saw Chu Yunfei agreed and left with confidence.
Seeing Li Yunlong's leaving figure, Chu Yunfei felt a little complicated.
Chu Yunfei was a top student in Huangpu, and his understanding of infantry and artillery coordination far surpassed that of Li Yunlong. Listening to the constant roar of mortars on the position, he quickly judged that the artillery strength of Li Yunlong's unit was no longer comparable to that of the 358th Regiment. More than several times more!
However, Chu Yunfei was not one to give up easily. While waiting for the artillery battalion to deploy artillery positions, he carefully observed the enemy's positions and the firepower points on the positions.
Start calculating the various parameters for shelling the enemy's position.
On the position, following Li Yunlong's order, Zhang Dabiao began to command the troops to shrink and move away from the front of the right wing, leaving it to Chu Yunfei to attack.
"Dabiao, send a group of observers to observe the situation on the right wing. If anything happens to the 358th Regiment, report it immediately." Li Yunlong saw Zhang Dabiao completing his command and said to Zhang Dabiao.
Although Li Yunlong still has some understanding of Chu Yunfei's ability, and the 358th Regiment can be regarded as a capable unit among friendly forces, the bottom levels of the two sides are different, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they cannot match Chu Yunfei's ability at all.
To be honest, if Chu Yunfei stayed in the friendly army, it would be a huge humiliation of his talents!
